I used to visit the retreat over the years and was in charge of cleaning the kitchen tile and grout daily for a weeks full-ride scholarship ~ room, board, tuition, books just like those football players at CU. On occasion Kyozan Joshu Sasaki (佐々木承周, Sasaki Jōshū), Roshi was a Japanese Rinzai Zen teacher who sought to tailor his teachings to westerners, he lived in Los Angeles and was Leonard Cohen’s Teacher) would guest-lecture and i was fortunate enough to sit with him.
